Testimonials

Abigail and Jono Van Echten

"Absolutely Outstanding. 🔝 Michael came on board after a failed four-month long campaign with another agent. It took him just three weeks to present us with a multi-offer and deliver a cash offer above our asking price, despite a declining market. Throughout the campaign, Michael kept us fully up to date in a clear and meaningful way. He was always contactable. He's humourous, easy to talk to and really gets it. Michael is unrelenting and enthusiastic in his commitment, dedication and work ethic. He went the extra mile in every respect. For example, he dropped off his vacuum when ours broke before open home, and even cleaned our bathroom when I forgot(!) When it came down to working through the offers, Michael spent hours with us working to get the best outcome - even though I know the difference in price would have made very little difference to his commission. Michael has even assisted us in the purchase of our new property. It's well beyond the scope of his job and it's been amazing having him on our team. Selling your house can be a bruising and lengthy process, especially in a declining market. But we were always supported by Michael. He was kind, respectful and has a huge amount of integrity. I really can't say how wonderful Michael is. He sold our house when others couldn't. He treated us with respect and kindness. We couldn't recommend him more."

"Exceptional Service with a smile. 😃 Michael Hinds offered a truly exceptional service when we needed to sell our apartment. I found Michael after searching online for Wellington realtors. I decided to make contact with him just before Christmas, never ever expecting him to reply until after Christmas and the New Year. Michael not only replied to my email immediately, but also followed up with a phone call. He made the entire process stress free. It is truly difficult finding an agent of this calibre. We were both working in different time zones and I would find that if there had been any issues during my night time, (the day time in NZ) that by the time I had risen in the morning Michael had already dealt with the issues. I was impressed with Michael’s attention to detail throughout the entire process. It is difficult finding an agent of this calibre. He also communicated with our solicitor on our behalf, so as to not waste a day due to the time differences. He approached the job with promptness, strategic mindset, great attention to detail and the willingness to do the hands-on jobs when needed. Michael went above and beyond our expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend him to our friends, colleagues. Michael’s good energy made this task a lot easier than I had ever expected. It is not the first property that we have sold and have come across many agents over the last 10 years or so. I wish that I had found Michael before now as I would not hesitate to have him sell any other property should we require his services. Michael’s commitment to ensuring that the settlement day went without a hitch was outstanding. He even went as far as organising and helping to move the furniture out of our apartment as we were not able to be there to do this ourselves. My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of Michael’s dedication to looking after his clients. Thank you Michael for selling our apartment in this difficult market. You came through for us and all within 4 weeks from the start."
